What Our Students Say About Leland
Leland Seminary has welcomed students from all Christian denominations for over 25 years. Their diverse callings have included the following:
To pastor a church
To serve as a chaplain
To lead a mission
To counsel and provide pastoral care
To teach and share the gospel
To plant a church
Or simply to enhance their understanding and personal discipleship
Leland has helped me to see that I have transferable skills, that the knowledge and experience that I have gained in other places are applicable to this academic setting, as well as to my career.
Rev. Danielle L. Bridgeforth J. D.
Senior Pastor, The Church at Clarendon
Leland’s faculty know the weight and the pressures of pastoring, and they know the continuous culture shifts affecting the church. So, they’re teaching not just out of theory, but also out of practice.
Rev. Artemia Bates-Mendoza
Former Senior Pastor, Greenbrier Baptist Church
What I found at Leland was a faculty, administration and student body that was so supportive. I felt like I was welcome and accepted for who I am and all of who God created me to be. For me, Leland is and continues to be family.
